[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 4162552, member: 50228"] My mother did the same jobs and retired in abject squalor until she went in a nursing home. At that point it was a trade up. Back in the day your working options as a woman weren't that great, so if you didn't save (and she didn't) you didn't have anything to carry you though the rough times in life. I remember when she'd get her paycheck she'd rush us out to the hardware store to get sodas and burgers. "Gotta spend it before someone takes it away from you". Back then I thought she was talking about robbers, black masks and big bags with dollar signs on them. As I got older I realized she was talking about bill collectors and the mortgage company.
